When it came down to it, with Angel's back against the wall and no other options left he was going to do what needed to be done. Kill the demon. Something Buffy never could have done. It would have been too wrong for the character and the show.

See -- I thought the point of that scene was that Angel hesitated, and fatally; hesitated just the way he kept doing with Darla, too. And that it parallelled Buffy in "Becoming," when she could strike.

I don't know how it would have played if CC hadn't been pregnant, if they'd have killed Cordy and not Jasmine -- but I don't think the difference between the shows is really as clear-cut as that.

I always, always forget about "Becoming", I couldn't watch all of S2 and then didn't get back to watching Buffy until S4 and even though I have the dvds I don't watch those 2 episodes. I always feel like a bad fan becuase I can never remember about "Becoming" but the Buffy/Angel relationship was never a huge draw for me. '

So I only thought of the episode in terms of Ben/Glory. I was going to say that Buffy's never killed a human but I think she killed the Knights of whatever and they were but somehow they don't really seem to count because she's so adamant about the no humans.

I really need to go back and watch all of S2 a few more times.
